After this it happened that David struck the Philistines, and subdued them, and David took the bridle of Ammah out of the hand of the Philistines.

He struck Moab, and measured them with the line, making them to lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death, and one full line to keep alive. The Moabites became servants to David, and brought tribute.

Then David put garrisons in Aram of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, and brought tribute. YHWH gave victory to David wherever he went.
7 Und David nahm die goldenen Schilde, die Hadadesers Knechte gehabt hatten, und brachte sie gen Jerusalem.
And David took the shields of gold that were on the servants of Hadadezer, and brought them to Jerusalem, which, later on, were also taken by Shishak king of Egypt in the days of Rehoboam son of Solomon when he went up to Jerusalem.

10 sandte er Joram, seinen Sohn, zu David, ihn freundlich zu grüßen und ihn zu segnen, daß er wider Hadadeser gestritten und ihn geschlagen hatte (denn Thoi hatte einen Streit mit Hadadeser): und er hatte mit sich silberne, goldene und eherne Kleinode,
then Toi sent Hadoram his son to king David, to greet him, and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him: for Hadadezer had wars with Toi. And he brought with him vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze.
